She held romantic feelings for her on-screen brother, David Cassidy, who was everyone’s apple of the eye in the 70s. David admitted in his 1994 memoir, C’mon Get Happy: Fear and Loathing on the Partridge Family Bus, that he rejected Susan because “she lacked the slutty aspect of a female.”

Afterward, Susan refused to attend The Partridge Family reunions because she wasn’t happy that David made the truth of their relationship public. Though the two remained friendly for a few years after the show ended, David’s memoir strained their relationship, and she never spoke to him.
